Beecher, D T

A parametric analysis of energy conversion concepts using coal or coal derived fuels is presented. Conceptual plant designs were formulated for three advanced power conversion concepts; (1) a combined gas steam turbine cycle whose gas turbines are air cooled, and burn a low Btu gas from coupled pressurized fluidized bed gasifiers, (2) a combined gas steam turbine cycle whose gas turbine expanders contain ceramic elements and burn a semiclean coal derived liquid from the H coal process, and (3) an advanced steam plant whose steam is pressurized fluidized bed boilers. A detailed analysis of performance, plant layout, capital cost, cost of electricity, natural resource requirements, and emissions of the three advanced concepts is also included.
